      <image:caption>Yuki to yuhi | Snow Sunset | This was my secondary Niseko shootout submission of Josh. When we headed out for this shot we were hustling to summit, but the sun was setting quickly and we had to start on plan B. A quick changeover and we dropped into surprisingly light snow and one of the most beautiful sunset rides that I have encountered so far. Unfortunately, every GoPro head mount was dead and this quick photo was added to the memory bank. Photographer: Chris Smith (@chrissmith_really)</image:caption>

      <image:title>PRO-AM - Daybreak amongst Yotei San 羊頭山からお はようございます</image:title>
      <image:caption>Endless factors went into the making of this shot. 4 days spent charging through the mountains of Niseko, chasing deep snow and very short lived pockets of sunshine is only the half of it. This contest brought about a life-long friendship between myself and Ryu in 2020. Sadly the global pandemic, and loss of foreign language made for difficult times keeping up. We are happy for our shot, but most importantly we are happy to be here 3 years later chasing the dream enjoying missions again and competing in this stellar event for a second Judges Choice Award. A global pandemic can’t stop this duo, WE ARE BACK and happy as ever to announce our 2023 Niseko Shootout ProAm entry. 「羊蹄山の夜明け」 この写真の作成には無限に要因が関係しています。 ニセコの山々を突進し、深い雪と非常に短い日差しを追い求めて過ごした 4 日間は、その半分にすぎません。このコンテストは、2020 年に僕とターナーの間に生涯にわたる友情をもたらしました。悲しいことに、世界的なパンデミックにより、僕たちも例外なく困難な時期を迎えました。 私たちは自分たちのショットに満足していますが、最も重要なことは、3 年後にここに来て、再びミッションを楽しむ夢を追い求め、この素晴らしいイベントで 2 度目の審査員チョイス アワードを競うことを嬉しく思います。 世界的なパンデミックはこのデュオを止めることはできません.私たちは戻ってきて、2023 Niseko Shootout ProAmエントリーを発表できることをこれまでどおり幸せに思います。 Tanner Dobbins, Ryu Atobe タナー・ドビンズ, 跡部竜</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Torah Bright Torah Bright is quite simply a modern legend in the sport of snowboarding. While her gold, silver and bronze medals in the Winter Olympics, X Games and other world-wide competitions are undeniably impressive, it is how Torah has carved her path that is the most incredible. She has accomplished feats no other female ever has in her sport with her fearless execution of progressive tricks and technical combos redefined what was possible. Bundled with relentless optimism and endearing personality, Torah has captivated a global audience. Torah had joined the Niseko Shootout ProAM back in 2019 when the first ProAM started. And we are so excited to have her as one of our judges this year. Find out more about Torah here: http://www.torahbright.com/ トーラ・ブライトさんは、スノーボードにおける現代の伝説と言えるでしょう。冬季オリンピック、エックスゲームズ、その他の世界規模の大会での金、銀、銅メダルの獲得は間違いなく印象的ですが、彼女の道を切り開いた方法が最も素晴らしいものです。彼女は進歩的なトリックと、技術的なコンボでこれまでにない偉業を達成し、可能なことを再定義しました。執拗な楽観主義と愛情のこもった個性がバンドルされたトーラーさんは、世界中を魅了してきました。トーラーさんは、ProAMコンテストが開始された2019年に参加し、今年は審査員の一人として迎えることができました。詳細はこちらから: http://www.torahbright.com/</image:caption>

Bundled with relentless optimism and endearing personality, Torah has captivated a global audience. Torah had joined the Niseko Shootout ProAM back in 2019 when the first ProAM started. And we are so excited to have her as one of our judges this year.
